Canon EOS 5D Mark II is the first full frame DSLR camera that can shot videos. The first video-capable DSLR (but with APS-C sized sensor) is the Nikon D90. There are already tons of samples on the Internet to show you the video capability of these cameras. Here are just some Canon EOS 5D Mark II videos that are unique with the contents and the way they are shot – with Nikon lenses!

Why in the world would people want to use Nikon lens on a Canon body when Canon has already a huge collection of good EF lenses? Well, it might be the quality of the optics, or a lens that no equivalent Canon product exists, or it is perhaps the only way to get manual aperture controls. Canon EF lenses no longer have an physical aperture ring like many Nikon F lenses. Finally, it may be financially sensible to use available Nikkor lenses with a cheap adaptor.

Finally, here are the videos. If you are interested in finding out more about the background or equipment information, please follow the link below each video. Otherwise, just enjoy the fascinating scenes of modern China.
